Thanks to all the replies. My first venture onto the boards was not as 
terrifying as I expected. 

putting alias net-pf-10 off 
in /etc/modules.conf 	had no effect but putting it into
 /etc/modprobe.conf  	seems to have solved the problem for now. I will now 
scurry to the net and books and try and find out more about what these 
commands mean and about this strange beast called linux. 
I'll be back. Thanks again.
